NinjaScript > Language Reference > Chart Style

Definition

Defines a unique identifier value used to register a custom ChartStyle. There are 9 default ChartStyles which come with NinjaTrader which are reserved per the table on this page under the Parameters section of this page.

Note: The ChartStyle property can allow a large number of ChartStyles to be registered on a single user's installation (up to 2,147,483,647). However it's important to note that it is still possible for two installed ChartStyles on a user's computer to conflict should they be register to the same enumerator value . In this case, NinjaTrader will ignore the conflicting ChartStyle type and information pertaining to this conflict will be displayed on the Log tab of the NinjaTrader Control Center.

Added 1/31/2018 : We advise users to use values larger then 1023 when selecting an enum. As NinjaTrader from time to time may add a new enum value in that range which may cause conflicts.

Property Value

A enum value representing the ChartStyle to be registered.

Tip: It is recommended to pick high, unique enumeration value to avoid conflict from other ChartStyles that may be used by a single installation.

Syntax

You must cast ChartStyleType from an int using the following syntax:

(ChartStyleType) 80;

Parameters

Reserved enumeration values are listed below:

0	Box
1	CandleStick
2	LineOnClose
3	OHLC
4	PointAndFigure
5	KagiLine
6	OpenClose
7	Mountain
8	Volumetric

Examples


protected override void OnStateChange() { if (State == State.SetDefaults) { Name = "Example ChartStyle"; ChartStyleType = (ChartStyleType) 80; BarWidth = 1; } }
